Buddileigh Farm has been constructed by the present owners, built of brick with rendered elevations, all surmounted by a tiled roof. The house has been built with a contemporary and flexible layout to take full advantage of its wonderful location. The attention to detail and no expense mantra is evident throughout. The accommodation has a real feeling of light and space with great ceiling heights, and a full compliment of windows and French windows to the terraces and balconies maximising the outstanding views in all directions over the gardens, grounds and countryside beyond.
